Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this creamy goodness:
- 2 medium-sized eggplants
- 3 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
- Pita bread or veggies, for dipping
Instructions
Now, let’s get to the good part:
- First up, preheat that oven to 400°F (about 200°C). We want to roast those eggplants until they’re nice and tender.
- Grab your eggplants and poke a few holes in them with a fork. This helps them release steam while roasting. Place them on a baking sheet.
- Roast the eggplants for about 35-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. When they’re done, let them cool for a bit.
- Once they’ve cooled down enough to handle, scoop out the insides and put ’em in a food processor. Discard the skins.
- Add in the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt. Blend this all up until you get a creamy consistency—smooth like butter!
- Give it a taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed. If it’s too thick, add a little bit of water or more olive oil until you reach your desired creaminess.
- Transfer your Baba Ghanoush to a serving bowl, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve it up with warm pita bread or veggies for dipping, and enjoy this delightful taste of tradition!
